how to list files in Nifi from a different timezone using ListSFTP processor?

[#1]

My Nifi server uses PDT timings and i want to list files from a source server which uses UTC timing. While using ListSFTP processor, only files available till current PDT timings are getting listed. (since UTC timing is ahead, many latest files from source end are not getting listed )

I don't want to change my Nifi server timezone to UTC as it would effect other existing flows.

i dont have an option to change timezone directly in my ListSFTP processor either 😞 

How i can fix this and list all the files directly using ListSFTP processor?

How is your ListSFTP processor configured? Can you increase the Entity Tracking Window to include the difference in timezones?

Hi @mburgess , tried increasing the Entity time tracking window to 8 hours (the time difference is 7hrs here from PDT to UTC), but still could see the same files getting listed, not the latest ones from source server as expected.

Attached the Nifi ListSFTP configuration i'm using.
